The government will implement a new syllabus for the secondary level from 2012.
Education minister Nurul Islam Nahid said this at a daylong workshop on 'Development of Secondary Level Education' organised by the National Curriculum Textbook Board (NCTB) in Dhaka on Saturday.
The workshop was organised as a part of the Secondary Education Sector Development Project (SESDP).
The minister pointed out that curriculum is the essence of education and added that life skills should be integrated into the new syllabus based on student opinions to make studies more comprehensible.
To ensure that the new syllabus is in place in due time, the minister has already asked related officials and organisations to make required changes to the current curriculum and to finish the new career-based syllabus within 2011.
He said that following formation of the new syllabus, books will be printed by June 2011 for distribution among the students.
"The current has lost its focus on the current context." The education minister said that it should be made more contemporary so that students become more eager.
The education minister urged teachers to change their 'conservative' mentality to ensure modern education.
Moreover, he asked that some new items be included in the syllabus including proper history of the Liberation War, right to information, human rights, health consciousness, militancy, and changing men's attitude towards women.
NCTB curriculum specialist Uttam Kumar Das read out the research paper on evaluation of the secondary level curriculum.
He mentioned that 95 percent school teachers are not able to fulfil the demands of the students on the basis of national and international situation in the existing education system. Moreover, 54.50 percent college teachers and 96 percent guardians cannot fulfil the demands of the learners.
Das suggested introducing indifferent subjects in the three education systems - general, madrasa and vocational systems – at grade 9 and 10.
Speaking as special guest, education secretary Syed Ataur Rahman suggested a six-month 'action plan' for the implementation of life skill syllabus from 2012.

Sheikh Hasina for new MDG for developing nations
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged the international community to formulate a new MDG with specific targets for economic emancipation of developing countries, particularly the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), within stipulated time frames.
"I believe from my experience that once economic emancipation is achieved, social development would follow as a natural course… the new economic MDG would be the base and core of all MDGs," she said at the first roundtable on 'Poverty, Hunger, and Gender Equality' at the General Assembly Hall of the UN Headquarters on Wednesday evening.
Terming poverty the number one enemy of mankind and source of most social disorders and terrorism, the Prime Minister said development partners have a vital role to play in combating the poverty and its offshoots.
She said: "Indeed, when the MDGs were being adopted, only social issues were considered, and not financing of the same, which is so essential for implementing the social targets."
Hasina, who was a signatory to the Millennium Declaration containing the eight-point MDGs adopted by the UNGA in 2000, said MDG-1 had three specific targets - to halve the proportion of people whose income was less than US$ 1 per day by 2015, achieve full and productive employment for all, including women and young people by 2015, and halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger by 2015.
"Unfortunately, we have failed to achieve any one of these three targets," she said, adding another billion people have been pushed below the poverty line due to the recent global economic meltdown.
The Prime Minister said the MDG Report depicts reduction of world poverty from 46 percent to 27 percent and in South Asia from 49 percent to 39 percent by 2005.
"The progress has been different in different countries, and even within an individual country depending on policies, and availability of funds to implement them."
In Bangladesh, she said, the government has adopted extensive programs targeting poverty while micro-credit and micro-financing have been intensified.

About "Mymensingh"
About Mymensingh:-
The city of Mymensingh (also known as Nasirabad), situated on the banks of the river Brahmaputra, is the capital of the district of the same name in Dhaka division, Bangladesh. The district of Mymensingh covers an area of approximately 4,363 kilometers consisting mainly of flat open cultivated fields well watered by numerous rivers, with some elevated jungle areas and nature reserves as well as a game sanctuary
Mymensingh city is almost four hundred years old and has a rich political and cultural history. A number of noteworthy figures were born and raised in Mymensingh, including political figures Monsur Ahmed and Syed Najrul Islam - who served as the acting President of Bangladesh during the Bangladesh Liberation War. The famous Bengali novelist, Shirshendu, was also born in Mymensingh.
During British rule (1858-1947) the majority of the inhabitants of Mymensingh were Hindus. Starting in the early 20th century, Muslims moved into the town and are currently in the majority. The town has, however, played an important role in promoting secularism as well as in educating Bengali Muslim women. There are 28 schools and colleges in the city, including the Bangladesh Agricultural University, and two medical colleges, earning it the nick-name of “City of Education”. The previous palace of Mymensingh Rajbari situated on the banks of the Brahmaputra, which was built between 1905 and 1911, is considered to be an architectural landmark and is a tourist attraction as well as a teacher training college for women. The city of Mymensing has also hosted the annual conference of World Vision, attended by forum members and development group leaders of World Vision Bangladesh to discuss issues related to the fight against poverty and food shortages.
